Illustration of a star-shaped glial cell with branching processes occupying a circular microscopic field. The image depicts an astrocyte, a cell type within central nervous system (CNS) neural tissue. In neuroanatomy and cellular neuroscience, astrocytes support neurons by regulating extracellular ions, recycling neurotransmitters, and supplying metabolic substrates. They also contribute to the blood–brain barrier (BBB) and modulate synaptic transmission. The site is the brain or spinal cord parenchyma, showing fine processes radiating from the soma into surrounding neuropil.
